I didnt like this blog. well, I didnt like the news it brought but it just shows that your littlepal is the victim of human decimation of the enviroment that has limited his gentic pool, causing him to be predisposed to ailments like this.

hopeflly, the animal hospital can help him out or is the affliction fatal?

wow. genetic bottleneck. Looks like the cards are stacked in the favor of extinction through disease and lack of genetic variety...

How the hell do we manage to affect the eventual fate of everything on this planet. Sometimes I think that the notion of our own ability to destroy the natural outcome of organisms is our ultimate undoing.

Whoa, poor little fella.




man, you rock for taking him in to the Animal Hospital though.

oh no!

that's terrible!

shit i fucking love koalas. humans suck.

wow. that's a crazy one. they haven't quite figured that mystery out yet have they. sound exactly like what happened to your panda- "no energy to climb back up a tree...drink voraciously form puddles and pet bowls.. then die". that last line about the drought is fascinating though

"We are wondering if during the drought the gum leaves are doing strange things."

where are the plants absorbing this stuff and why wasn't it in the other animals that eat the same leaves? fucking bizarre. poor koala's.

boooooooooooooooooo

a drought would defintelty cause a concentration of other substances in plants.
especially plants designed to survive drought, often they produce chemicals to help them retain water.

man that's really sad.

i never thought i'd be lamenting the death of a koala in an em forum, but there's a first time for everything.

fuck....fuck!
